Fraction Kit (Product Code: SLE/LP/05) is a set of circular fraction cut-outs, fraction dice and fraction cards used to build fractional number sense through activities and games in primary maths. It suits up to 4 children aged 8–13 years and covers unit fractions from ½ down to 1/16, measured against one full-circle whole. The kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, whose mathematics lab kits serve both maths labs and class sets.

| Whole | One whole — a full circle |
| Fraction cards | 5 unit fractions and 16 non-unit fractions |
| Fraction dice | Included, for games at different levels |
| Activity guide | Write-up with details of the activities |
| Group size and age | Up to 4 children, age 8–13 years |
| Suitable for | Maths labs and class kits |

Children lay the cut-outs on the full circle to see what ½, 1/3 or 1/8 of a whole actually looks like. They soon find that 2/4, 4/8 and 6/12 cover exactly the same area as ½, and that 2/6 and 4/12 match 1/3 — equivalence discovered by hand rather than by rule. Seeing that more pieces means smaller pieces makes the meaning of the denominator concrete, and building non-unit fractions from unit pieces leads naturally to proper, improper and mixed fractions.
The fraction dice and the cards (5 unit and 16 non-unit fractions) turn comparing and ordering into games that can be played at several levels. Older pupils in the 8–13 range move on to addition and subtraction of fractions based on quantity sense before learning the algorithm, and then to multiplication and division of fractions. As educational lab equipment, the kit works equally well as maths-lab stock or as a class kit issued to groups.
The Fraction Kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — ScienceLab is its trading name — from Ambala, Haryana. Schools equipping several maths classrooms at once, teacher-training colleges and dealers in India and international markets order it as single kits or in bulk.

What is included in the Fraction Kit?
The Fraction Kit includes two sets of five circular unit fraction cut-outs from ½ to 1/8, one set from 1/12 to 1/16, one whole circle, fraction dice, and fraction cards covering 5 unit and 16 non-unit fractions, plus a write-up of activities.
What age group is the Fraction Kit for?
The Fraction Kit is intended for up to 4 children aged 8–13 years. Its games can be played at different levels, so the same kit supports first work on unit fractions as well as later work on operations with fractions.
Can the Fraction Kit show equivalent fractions?
Yes. With the Fraction Kit, children lay pieces over one another to show that 2/4, 4/8 and 6/12 are equivalent to ½, and that 2/6 and 4/12 are equivalent to 1/3, before they learn the rule for equivalent fractions.
Is the Fraction Kit suitable for a maths lab?
Yes. The Fraction Kit is described as appropriate both for maths labs and for class kits, so it can be kept as lab stock or issued to groups of up to 4 children during regular fraction lessons.
What material are the Fraction Kit cut-outs made of?
The material of the Fraction Kit cut-outs is not stated in the product description. Please ask through the contact page, and the quotation will confirm the material along with the full list of cut-outs, dice and cards supplied.
Who supplies the Fraction Kit?
The Fraction Kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges of education and dealers in India and international markets, in single units or class quantities for fraction teaching.
